Privacy and integrity of medical records while preserving and sharing them within any healthcare system is of high importance. Recently, India's Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) aims to address various issues of the existing healthcare systems and proposes a federated healthcare system to bring all the players under a common umbrella. However, it falls short on various aspects, including transparency, auditability, and traceability of activities and information within the system. In this proposal, we aim to bridge these existing gaps and propose an extension of the ABDM proposal by incorporating a blockchain layer instrumented with additional features such as traceable consent management, auditable access logs, etc., while keeping in mind its performance and scalability. We present a proof of concept of our proposal based on Hyperledger Fabric and related backend technologies and manifest experimental results to reinforce the practicality of our proposal.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an essential visualizing tool in the diagnosis and monitoring of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) disease. However, the neurological examinations and the MRI assessments are insufficient to provide personalized treatment to the patients due to the complexity of the disease. This study implemented an explainable artificial intelligence (AI) model with embedded rules to assess MS disease evolution. Clinical data were used including demographic and neurological measurements. Texture features were extracted from manually delineated and normalized brain MRI lesions. Statistical analysis was employed to select the statistically significant texture features and clinical data. Different models using machine learning algorithms were implemented to differentiate the subjects diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) from the subjects with progressive MS (PMS). Argumentation-based reasoning was performed by modifying the rules extracted from models with the best evaluation results. The findings indicated that the proposed explainable AI model can predict the clinical conditions of MS disease with high accuracy and provide transparent and understandable explanations with high fidelity. Future work will include further clinical data such as medications and investigate the correlation of the texture features and clinical data with the neurological impairment. The proposed model should also be evaluated on more MS *** Relevance— This method can assist clinical experts by providing explainable and interpretable diagnosis in the assessment of MS disease.

The recent advancements in deep learning techniques and computational power have promoted the development of novel approaches for music generation. In this study, generating alapana, an improvisational form of Carnatic music was proposed, by leveraging Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Finite State Machines (FSM). The goal is to create melodious alapana sequences that follow a given input raga, ensuring continuity and coherence throughout the generated musical piece. The proposed approach incorporates Carnatic music theory rules into the generation process to enhance the structural coherence of the generated alapana. Additionally, various hyperparameter settings were explored to achieve the best performance. The Fréchet Audio Distance, Percentage of Correct Pitches and the Subjective evaluation through human listeners are the evaluation metrics of this approach. The result of this study demonstrates the potential of using GANs and FSM for generating continuous and pleasing alapana sequences in Carnatic music, contributing to the growing body of research in computational music generation.

Time Series (TS) forecasting has stagnated owing to algorithm restrictions, therefore systems developed using these methods can only perform so well. TS remains a challenge despite recent advances in Deep Learning (DL) in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Reinforcement Learning (RL). This paper reviews the literature on these algorithms, highlights studies using them, and shows their limits. Neural Ordinary Differential Equations (NODEs) with continuous-time and continuous-depth tackle TS forecasting issues. Liquid Time-Constant (LTC) networks, a more advanced and reliable implementation of these NODEs, provides fluidity. We propose a new design that uses the LTC's liquid adaptability and is more adaptable to manage immediate changes. These algorithms are more steady, adaptive, and versatile than DL, which may help overcome its TS forecasting shortcomings.

This research implements hybrid deep learning network models for weather image classification. The study proposes to apply a combined model, namely VGG16-LightGBM. In its architecture model, a pre-train convolutional neural network (CNN) name as VGG16 is employed for feature extraction of images and the LightGBM algorithm is used to make classification. The results on accuracy of proposed models were compared with four other models, namely Xception, Inception V3,Vgg19, Vgg16 which are all implemented by transfer learning mechanism on the same dataset. The experimental results proved that the VGG16-LightGBM gives the best performance with the highest accuracy of 81,28%, outperforms the transfer learning technique of other 4 pre-train models in the problem of weather image classification.

The objective of this study was to implement an explainable artificial intelligence (AI) model with embedded rules to assess Multiple Sclerosis (MS) disease evolution based on brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) multi-scale lesion evaluation. Amplitude Modulation-Frequency Modulation (AM-FM) features were extracted from manually segmented brain MS lesions obtained using MRI and were labeled with the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS). Machine learning models were used to classify the MS subjects with a benign course of the disease and subjects with advanced accumulating disability. Rules were extracted from the selected model with high accuracy and then were modified to perform argumentation-based reasoning. It is demonstrated that the proposed explainable AI modeling can distinguish MS subjects and give meaningful information to track the progression of the disease. Future research will examine more subjects and add new feature sets and models.
